I should have known if I brought up wc I’d have to talk about. But it includes of a lot of issues with feral/furry designs that use feathers in hair. I don’t necessarily know why the conversation only started and stayed in the wc fandom when horse/wolf/lion feral fandoms are still doing the same thing.
Now having feathers in the design isn’t a racial attack first thing off because there’s a lot of context around what feather’s are used, the shape, and where they are placed. If the look is anything like "rave Coachella looking tribal fantasy feathers and beads" it’s probably insensitive. I’m not to sure why it has to be feathers, I honestly think the wc fandom are holding themselves back when it comes to forwarding designs in a unique way. Tail feathers are also left out in this conversation as well, one or two feathers or feathers in the shape of a birds tail are fine but bunched together feathers are leaning to close to how we have our horses wear feathers. This is in the context of the design already looking like a "medicine cat" already its bad. it’s like those yt girls wear feather head bands but animal addition.
I’ve talked about this before but silhouettes are so important, like Native American stereotypes are on the global scale you cannot escape this silhouette you just have to avoid it. There’s no "but it’s in so many other cultures" no it’s not it’s totally unique to our people that’s why people flock to it because it’s so "mysterious, sacred" whatever their weird twisted up reason is. There’s so many unique ways to break this silhouette you just gotta be more creative. And I feel like instead of being more creative and coming up with totally different ideas it’s just easier to lean on these visual native stereotypes to get across "wild mythical nature fantasy"
I could get into the horse fandom and the weird situations they’re doing over there but that’s another crazy thing. I should say because someone will ask, ostrich feathers on like show horses or knights or puss in boots style is fine not the same thing (breaking the silhouette) they’re not related.
And it comes down to understanding what you are drawing and where this imagery comes from, I’m not gonna get my feelings hurt because of your design but I’ll question why are you drawing stuff like that. You cant remove that cultural/stereotypical imagery, and if you don’t care about it then you don’t care about the history or how it looks on your character and art.
I made it this far on the internet but if you want to be conscious about these things good on yea it doesn’t take much☺️👍
Edit: can’t believe I gotta say this but yes other cultures utilize feathers, if people are using feathers that are used in their culture then don’t harass them. That’s weird have some common sense. Ostrich feathers, peacock feathers it’s actually so interesting how native birds to an area affect the culture there.
As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time
I've been working at a chain pet store for a while, and I've made lots of doodles of the different animals I've cared for in Pet Care, I started making possible sticker designs and I was wondering if anyone would actually be interested in me selling physical sticker forms of them?
I could maybe do kitty stickers too, the only examples I have right now are fish but I've doodles lots of reptiles, too!
Examples: (The traditional Goldfish ones are based off of someone else's art and I would be remaking them digitally and in my own style, lol.)

A guide to designing, drawing or writing characters who use mobility aids!!!!
I hope this is helpful for people, a lot of people seemed to appreciate my wheelchair guide, so I hope this is as helpful!!
I may have missed some bits but there are some things, such as prosthetics, that some may argue is a mobility aid, however I’d like to go into more detail and create specific guides for those things!!
Mich love, let me know what you think!
That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
HI. I'VE COME BEARING NEWS.
I am trying to get into a better place that is MUCH cheaper than my current shitty AirBNB. The rent will be 650$ a month, versus my current 1068$. Giant chunk. Huge win.
HOWEVER.
I'd be moving on May 1st (if I succeed this stressful ass background check) and I don't get paid until that very same day, and they want me to be able to pay before (obviously, valid).
Total cost for move in fee, deposit, and rent is 1,275$. Just for the first month.
I do have some friends helping reduce that price a good chunk, all the way down to 700$. I don't exactly have that either— which is why I'm here making this post.
PLEASE HELP ME GET A BETTER LIVING SITUATION THAN I HAVE NOW. I need 700$ before the 1st of May. That's not a lot of time and I'm doing my best to not freak out.
I'm getting a lot of help where I can, but I just need a touch more. If you can, donate! If you can't, please share! I WANT A BETTER LIVING SITUATION!!! Please 🥺
Honey is a comic based on my run on clangen (lifegen). I think I'll slowly post it here on tumblr, but it'll update faster on Comicfury.
This is not a Warrior Cats comic! They're just cats.
You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.
I am not exaggerating.
As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.
This is not a drill.
Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.
Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).
Almost 2 months of mine to make this. I wanted to try produce an animated story by my self, but oh boy did it a shit ton of work.
Music from the game obviously. I separated vocals and instruments of some songs, but it's hard to have the result that I want (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)
Normally I don't post my longer video on here, but eh, it's short enough, so... ¯\_ (ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯
There’s still more to the story—I'll see if I can continue the project. Any feedback or help is welcome!
You can also watch my stuffs on my YouTube if you want to •ᴗ•

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
day barely even started and I already had to hear "thank you for being our wives, sisters, aunts" and "keep being women and giving birth and being delicate unlike us men" as compliments for international women's day
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
WHO IS USING THIS
AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.
i don’t think i posted this anywhere? little hc about how tear drop marking would vary depending on the combination of moons.
To otherkin who use mobility aids, I imagine your kin(s) using their aids a lot like this
anyway i know we talk a lot of shit abt this site but i just wanna say that tumblr taught me to romanticize life a little. like where else am i gonna find an essay abt how hands were made to hold other hands or posts with thousands of notes abt how peeling an orange for a loved one can be the purest act of care & love? all the softest, sweetest and kindest ppl on the internet are here and i'm so grateful to be here along with y'all. i love you and please keep romanticizing the smallest things... god knows we need that now more than ever.
